Rarely does a property such as this become available. Always sought after as the ideal New Hampshire experience, Clearwater Farm offers a home crafted in a 19th century barn that survived a farm fire long ago when the original farmhouse was lost. It was then that the barn was converted into an inviting, open-concept home with 3 bedrooms and two baths.

The 30 x 42 structure is spacious, rustic and inviting all at once. The first floor can be configured in a variety of ways, creating living and dining spaces to suit your tastes, separated by large exposed upright beams. Three pine walled bedrooms and a large full bath are accessed from the wrap-around balcony. Walking anywhere along the balcony, stop, lean over the true log rails and look down to into the fabulous great room space. Although open and large, a cluster of seating faces the brick fireplace (with a more efficient woodstove insert), lending a feeling of inviting comfort in all seasons. At the back of the barn is a large, wide galley-type kitchen with appliances and oodles of storage along with another bath. On the front of the house welcome your guests through the inviting 12 x 30 screen porch where you can sit and read or converse with friends or clients. From here, you can see the barn, paddocks, rolling lawns and perennial gardens along with apple, peach and cherry trees and a spectacular pink dogwood.

Unique to this structure is the full walkout basement that not only has washer and dryer hookups and all mechanical systems but also a garage under, a necessity in New Hampshire. This is only the beginning.

The horse barn is great! With 9 stalls in two sections, if you are in the equine business, this might be it. The barn has a history of training, instruction and sales and the standard 20 x 60 meter outdoor ring is a bonus that would suit many disciplines and endeavors.

Attached to the barn is another 1.75 story structure with a heated tack room, grain room and workshop/storage area. An absolutely charming guest suite is on the 2nd floor. With a bath, kitchenette area and large, open living room/bedroom, a client, working student or those visiting to consider the purchase of a horse would be more than comfortable here. The farm amenities are on separate power, septic and well, although it can be connected to the house will if needed.

Clearwater Farm is located in a tourist-heavy region of New Hampshire, off Route 16, making it very easy for visitors to find you. A quick 45 minute drive from Portsmouth and the I-95/Route 16 junction, this would also make the perfect second home for those who want their horses with them during the warm weather riding season. The options at this farm are many.

This property is very well designed with its 5.7 acres offering garden areas, an orchard, post and rail paddocks and more. Its the perfect setup and simple to maintain so that you can concentrate on what matters your horses.
